Bunge has extensive operations globally and approximately 35,000 employees. It originates oilseeds and grains from the world’s primary growing regions. It then transports them to customers around the world. In addition, it crushes oilseeds to make meal for the livestock industry and oil for the food processing, food service and biofuel industries.

Furthermore, the Company produces bottled oils, mayonnaise, margarines and other food products for consumers. Bunge also crushes sugarcane to make sugar, ethanol and electricity. It also mills wheat and corn for food processors, bakeries, brewers and other commercial customers.

Bunge moves millions of tons of agricultural commodities annually. For example, soybeans delivered by truck and river barge undergo processing at the Company’s plant in Decatur, Alabama, to make protein meal and vegetable oil. These are subsequently transported to customers by rail and road.

Bunge Limited is working to improve its global reach via investments and strategic partnerships. The Company is making progress on its focus areas: Brazil and Europe foods; China crush, and U.S. grains. In 2015, Bunge had a record Earnings Before Interest & Tax (EBIT) performance in Agribusiness. Its Agribusiness volumes in Brazil increased by 4%. South America, is the Company’s largest region.

Regarding Food & Ingredients, most of Bunge’s recent investments have been in Milling. The Company has a new state-of-the-art mill in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
